"Rather than put on a subpar showing in a region with limited late model competitors to join us, we will focus on building a bigger swing through the Northeast in 2015," said Series director Tim Christman.

The Super Late Model Stock Car Racing classic will be a 300-lap affair with caution flags counting during the first 290 laps; there will be no competition cautions or half-way breaks, and the race will feature live pit stops.

The festival will be open to all owners, racers, and enthusiasts alike, offering the opportunity to see road and race cars in close action while also enjoying live entertainment and a special gala dinner.

The display, which debuts this Friday (June 13) and consists of seven sprint cars that the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame inductee drove, features at least one winning car from each decade of his illustrious career.
